Caramel Sauce No Thermometer Needed

A 10 minute homemade caramel sauce no thermometer required, foolproof, only 3 ingredients, one pot and 10 minutes of stirring its all it takes.

Making sauces at home can be fun and budget friendly. Like my other Homemade Blueberry Sauce, this one is perfect to go on any desserts. In addition, if you are a huge caramel lover like I am, I suggest using it to make various other desserts. My other popular once are Salted Caramel Apple Madeleines and Marshmallow Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake.

I haven't made caramel in ages. I love the simplicity of this recipe and who doesn't love caramel ? Problem is I'd pour it all over ice cream and eat a bucket of it !nom-nom

Does the caramel sauce stay liquid after it cools, or does it solidify as many homemade sauces do? I am a huge fan of making things from scratch... That's how I grew up, plus it tastes better, and to me I like to know whats im my food and be able to pronounce the names of all the ingredients.

Hi Mary, the caramel stays quiet liquid, it never fully solidifies, it still has the consistency of a sauce, and if you want it more liquid you can heat it up for 10-15 seconds in the microwave. Also, I am so with you on the made from scratch alternative, thats exactly how I grew up to and I prefer to know what went into my food :) thanks for reading!
